When the car is cold ie not been driven for a few hours, when i Drive i get a very fast clicking sound consistant with acceleration.
This goes after 2/3 minutes of relaxed driving, but is a horrible but very loud
Seems to be coming from alternator side, any ideas?

Is this proportional to engine speed or vehicle speed?
